Baked Falafel Salad

Look how cute these heirloom tomatoes are! I've decided to quit wasting money on crappy tomatoes at the grocery store and just buy the expensive ones. It's only a couple of dollars more and they actually taste good! These were kind of lemony.


I used them in a greek-style salad with the baked falafel from Appetite for Reduction. These falafels look kind of weird, but the flavor is good and you save yourself about 6000 calories (give or take) by not deep frying them. We're spending the Labor Day weekend in St. Louis with friends and I know there is going to be some serious eating going on, so I'm trying to do a pre-tox sort of thing. So anyway, the salad is red leaf lettuce, heirloom tomatoes, and local cucumber tossed in Veganomicon's tahini-dill sauce, thinned with some vegetable broth to turn it into salad dressing. And toasted whole wheat pita on the side.
